The Central Wisconsin Storm begins defense of its WIAA state girls hockey title Saturday against the University School of Milwaukee with a much different look than the squad that celebrated on the ice of Veterans Memorial Coliseum just over eight months ago.

The Storm graduated nine seniors from that team, and Denny Drake stepped down as coach in August and was replaced by former assistant Jana Jurkovich.
